The deal with The Jockey Club will also see Stan James sponsoring the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle, the International meeting at Cheltenham, and the Champion Trial at Haydock Park. Cheltenham’s Edward Gillespie was suitably chuffed that having a single sponsor backing ‘four of the most important two-mile hurdle races will enable a continuity to the promotion of that category.’ And keeping all the same signage in place will require less glue, which will require less losing horses being sent to the knackers. Win-win!
